Tips and ideas

There are many ways you can get involved in the World's Greatest Shave.

Put a price on your head and encourage your friends and family to sponsor you.
E-mail your friends, family, workmates and neighbours to tell them about your shave.
Make it an event by holding a barbeque or lunch and auction the pleasure of shaving your head.
Take 'before' and 'after' photos, add them to your Profile page and e-mail your friends to visit your page and sponsor you.
Don’t forget you can email friends and family overseas as well.

Challenge other stores, state offices or departments.
Put a price on your Chief Executive's head and encourage your business to match it.

Stage your shave on Friday lunchtime or during after-work drinks.
Hold a shave event in a meeting room, staff room, pub, hotel, board-room or outside.

If everyone is wearing the colours in their hair, it may be a good idea to have a colouring breakfast to start off the day.

Encourage your teachers, principal or school captains to shave or colour during a special assembly.
